"Liam Too" wrote in message m... "Wet_Chess_Dreams" wrote in message (sniped the rest of this retard's drivel) Yes, you indeed are the idiot CeeGeek! You are too braindead to understand a simple sentence in your own native language. Learn how to read english, then come back to the NG's and try to be "helpful" at that point. Hey Jason, Perhaps lighten up a bit. We are just trying to help you here(....snip) You are CeeGeek are clearly too stupid to understand that you have not helped at all. I was quite specific about the title of the quote I was interested in. With the help I am getting from belligerent jackass trolls like you two, I will get nowhere! Go and "help" someone else! |

That was exactly what I was looking for D.A.H, thanks a million!
"D.A.H. Kruyt" wrote in message ... What you are looking for is probably what Lasker is saying in his book "Common Sense in Chess" The book is an abstract of 12 lectures he gave in London in 1895. The first lecture is opened with the following words: COMMON SENSE IN CHESS No. 1 Gentlemen: It is customary to begin with definitions, but I am sure that all of you are so well acquainted with the essential parts of the history, the rules and the characteristics of Chess, that you will allow me to jump at once in medias res. Chess has been represented, or shall I say misrepresented, as a game-that is, a thing which could not well serve a serious purpose, solely created for the enjoyment of an empty hour. If it were a game only, Chess would never have survived the serious trials to which it has, during the long time of its existence, been often subjected. By some ardent enthusiasts Chess has been elevated into a science or an art. It is neither; but its principal characteristic seems to be-what human nature mostly delights in-a fight. Not a fight, indeed, such as would tickle the nerves of coarser natures, where blood flows and the blows delivered leave their visible traces on the bodies of the combatants, but a fight in which the scientific, the artistic, the purely intellectual element holds undivided sway. From this standpoint, a game of Chess becomes a harmonious whole, the outlines of which I will endeavor to describe to you in this course of lectures. regards, Dik "Wet_Chess_Dreams" schreef in bericht news ![]() Does anyone know where I can find the entire quote? |

Another jackass troll rears his ugly head! You're getting my webcam? Am I coming in clear, and in 64,000,000 colors -- or do I have the darned thing set wrong? BTW, that game I just lost "live" to Fritz doesn't count, since I was adjusting the camera, just as I hung my Queen (for the fourth game in-a-row). Ask somebody who *isn't* particularly good at chess, just what it is, if you really want to know. These GM's are just tooting their own horns. "The ultimate intellectual blah-blah-blah! (Ergo, *I* am the ULTIMATE intellectual blah-blah! Hahaha!") |
